Title: Rapid process modelidentification and generation
Inventor: COUGHRAN MARK
IPC: G05B11/42
Filed: 2011-02-23
Abstract: Method of generating a process model for a process, the method comprises steps of collecting process data related to a process variable PV and a manipulated variable MV; determining a ramp rate associated with the process variable after a change in the MV within a time period which is shorter than the process response time and is at least partially after the end of a deadtime period; generating a process model using the determined ramp rate. Preferably a rapid process model identification technique identifies, in a relatively short period of time, the dynamic relationship between a process input and a process output by developing an estimate of an integrating gain and a process deadtime from the initial response of the process output to a change in the process input. The integrating gain and dead-time values are then used to generate a complete process model for any of many different types of processes. These process models can be used very quickly to perform process simulation or can be used for control purposes, so as to be able to bring a process control system that uses or relies on process models on line much more quickly than was possible in the past. Moreover, this rapid modeling technique can be used to develop simulation models for a process loop before the controller that controls the process loop has completed responding to even a single process upset or set point change, making the technique very useful in performing control of slow processes.

Title: Titrator with feedback means
Inventor: TOUMAZOU CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G01N27/414
Filed: 2011-10-10
Abstract: Measuring an ion concentration of a sample comprises exposing a chemical sensor, such as an ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET), to the sample to provide an electrical output signal representing said ion concentration and controlling a titrator exposed to the sample to release or absorb a quantity of ions to the sample. Feedback means between the sensor and the titrator may be used to calculate an ion compensation value from the electrical output signal and the quantity of ions absorbed or released may be intended to maintain a constant concentration of the ions. The titrator may be a coulometric titrator coupled to a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller operating in a delta mode to titrate the required quantity of ions and the feedback means may compare the sensor output to a predetermined value.

Title: Transitioning of a UE to take measurement reports for the purpose of reselecting between different priority cells.
Inventor: MARTIN BRIAN
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2011-04-01
Abstract: A user equipment UE determines that a neighbour cell is higher priority than a serving cell, measures neighbour cell signal strength in n>1 iterations, and analyzes them for reselecting from the serving cell to the neighbour cell. Each measurement iteration is spaced from one another by a time interval (e.g., 1 DRX) that is specific for the neighbour cell being higher priority. In various embodiments, the UE measures while in a Cell-PCH, URA-PCH or idle state/mode and the first iteration is taken at the first available measurement opportunity after transitioning to that state/mode. The UE reselects to the neighbour cell based on the analyzed signal strengths. In one embodiment the decision to reselect is without regard to signal quality of the serving cell and in another the decision is without regard to whether a reselection condition remains satisfied for a specified time period Treselection.
